Client Testimonials

My daughter Samantha has been taking dance and acting lessons at Performing Arts Limited for 7 years. She loves it there, and so do I. Katie the Director and the rest of the staff are extremely talented and their love for teaching children beams with each lesson. Samantha has learned ballet, jazz, hip-hop, tap, lyrical dance, and acting. She even had instruction in African dancing during summer dance camp. She currently takes 8 classes a week and has developed quite a love for the arts. Katie really supports Samantha's goals in her quest to be a triple threat- dancer, actor & singer. Samantha has already been in a commercial, a print add and a few Columbia College student films. I attribute much of her success to the training, encouragement, and direction she has received at Performing Arts Limited. Samantha recently asked me "What exactly is Katie to me? A teacher, a mentor, or a friend, I answered all three! Performing Arts Limited is professional but also has a definite family feel. I would highly recommend it for Dance, Music Lessons, or Acting."

- Laura

Our oldest daughter started taking creative movement when she was 4 years old and today at the age of 13 she has continued to grow as PAL has grown and now enjoys voice and piano. Our youngest daughter currently loves her dance classes and the yearly recitals are always a highlight. The faculty are outstanding performers and artists in their own right and work well with children - a hard combination to find. We have enjoyed birthday parties at the studio and have many great memories over the years. We have grown to feel that PAL is a part of our family and will continue to recommend it to our friends and family."
